Has anyone noticed that the two time's Lennox lost and the one time he fought to a draw he was able to coax his opponent into fighting him again so he can try and prove himself. However when opponent's that he has defeated have asked him for a rematch he basically brushed them off and called them misfits who had their opportunity at him but failed. To me that may qualify him as a little bit of a *****.

thats what champions do u idiot...plus im sure they had a rematch clause in the contract...man u ppl are so dumb on this message board

[leff]

Well he promised VK a rematch havent seen that, or perhaps i will som day.

I dont think many of the fighters that LL defeated ever wanted a rematch.

Hasim Rahman wasn't going to give him a rematch, but Lewis and Steward went to court and won the right to an immediate rematch. Steward said in court that the rematch had to be immediate because Lewis was getting old.

Very true Asian. Steward reffered to Lewis being near 36 yrs old and hadn`t the time to wait for Rahman to make a few defences. Rahman signed to fight with a rematch clause. You can`t blame Lewis for enforcing it. And as for Vitali, were all mad at Lewis for retiring because the Klitscko fight was competitive and at times it looked like there could have been an upset. Because the fight ended on a cut stoppage it seems inconclusive and people want to see what would have happend if there hadn`t been a cut, this is fair enough and Lewis has his right to retire with dignity. However, after Klitscko beat Danny Williams Lewis started gobbing off on how he would beat Klitscko etc..This i think was totally wrong and if he continues to do it i think to a certain degree obilgates him to back up his words. You shouldn`t retire then claim you can beat fighters easily, especially when Klitscko gave him hell when they did fight.

Lewis has always been a little *****, just sitting on the sidelines while Holyfield-Bowe, Holyfield-Tyson pounded each other in their primes. Then Lewis sweeps in to fight smaller, shot fighters- that's why he struggles to crack the top 10 hvy of all time.

[Kimmy]

There is allot of truth to this post. He did not seem overly eagar to challenge Holyfield when he was champ and he didn`t even want Moorer and Moorer would be an eay option. He waited till Tyson was totally shot before he tangled with him also. One could argue that Bowe dumped the WBC belt in favor of Dokes over Lewis and Tyson did the same and fought Seldon in 1996. But i believe that was because Lewis being a Mandatory challenger he would have commanded 25% of the purse, greatly reducing his payday. I think the biggest mistake Tyson made was in 1996 when he fought Holyfield over Lewis and surrendered the WBC title. I think Tyson would have had more of a chance Vs Lewis that year then he had over Holyfield. But Lewis didn`t want to fight Klitscko again because he knew it was a hard fight, he knew he could have lost the first and he wasn`t getting any better with age. The biggest weakness with Lennox wasn`t his chin, it was his heart. He got knockdown but was unable to continue because he just didn`t wantg it as much as a real fighter.
